notanactualsheep I have a few of the LL vest tops and long sleeved ones and they don’t shrink at all - some are probably 4 years old now and have always been washed on a standard 40 wash no problem.

Ellapaella · 25/11/2018 22:19

Has anyone ordered the coated skinny jeans yet? I'm not sure which size to order as all the reviews say they are a small fit.

NotAnActualSheep · 25/11/2018 22:25

Thanks for the enablement on the paloma, folks! And nearly and cherries for the info on the tops/ raglan. All good to know.

I like the jumper soy...that looks very cosy.

Hair's gone rather splodgy ConfusedBlush. I like the colour, but it's brighter on one side than the other, and I've dyed my scalp in a couple of places. Aaaarggh! Hopefully it will calm down once washed a couple of times. (Sorry, light's not great).

I did Ella - though I didn't keep them. My hips are a pretty standard 14, and my waist more of a 12 - the 14 was fine for me.. not huge on the waist but I didn't find too small.

neveradullmoment99 · 25/11/2018 22:45

I ordered them. They are pretty small imo. I just got the 14's on.

neveradullmoment99 · 25/11/2018 22:47

There is NO way I could have got the 12's on but you are slimmer than me @Ella and I am 'hippy' so I suppose it depends upon your body shape. Strangely enough I had them from a few years ago and the 12's were fine. Definitely not this year. If you are slim hipped and a small waist you may be fine. I found them tiny.

neveradullmoment99 · 25/11/2018 22:48

I didn't keep them either.

neveradullmoment99 · 25/11/2018 22:49

Nice hair @not. I really like it. Grin

Ellapaella · 25/11/2018 22:51

I don't think I'll bother tbh - River Island have some beautiful ones that I tried on which are £45 so I'll go for those instead. Can't be bothered with the lengthy returns process which is bound to occur with Hush following a sale and they don't have 12's in stock to compare with the 10's anyway.
I've just ordered a faux leather burgundy jacket from Oasis - really must stop spending 😳

Ellapaella · 25/11/2018 22:53

Yes hair looks good @NotAnActualSheep
(Sorry was distracted by faux leather jackets). Are you pleased with it?

Ellapaella · 25/11/2018 22:53

I've dyed my scalp on several occasions - don't worry it'll wash off easy enough 😉

Ellapaella · 25/11/2018 23:17

@SoyYo that jumper is lovely, the crossover design gives it a bit of an edge.

GinandGingerBeer · 25/11/2018 23:19

Evening all, I've been in London this weekend, didn't get much chance to shop although I did manage to dive into Cos @ spitalfieds market today and got myself a Merylylikey  It's lovely, kinda batwinged and very soft.
@Ellapaella I've tried the Hush coated jeans in a 10,12,&14! They've all gone back, size ten I couldn't get over my thighs, 12's went on but wrinkled round my knees and I thought it might be because they were too tight so ordered 14's which were too big 🤷🏻‍♀️

Think it's time to accept they're not for me!

@Not, love the paloma and that Sainsbury's skirt. Looks like the skirt is OOS now though.

Oh that's lovely @GinandGingerBeer - really nice.

hendricksy · 26/11/2018 06:33

I was in hush Birmingham yesterday ( John Lewis ) and they had a pink Meryl... it made me think of you all!!
By the way how long do hush take to refund you usually ?

ilovecherries · 26/11/2018 08:42

Ref da if I d vary between 7-14 days, towards the longer end of that at sale times. I have noticed though that the PayPal refund notification often comes through 1-2 days before I get the notification from a Hush themselves.

ilovecherries · 26/11/2018 08:42

Ffs. I don’t not type that tripe. refunds vary

Ellapaella · 26/11/2018 09:55

I find usually within a week but if I haven't had it by 7 days if you call them they will process it straight away by over the phone.

ilovecherries · 26/11/2018 09:58

Two requests for feedback this morning, husheetas. The first is the chestnut jumper. It is for sure not one of my allowed HoC colours, but what do you think re the colour. Also, given I protect my cashmere from moths as if they were the crown weeks, would those nibbled edges drive you bonkers? I can’t even begin to understand why you would deliberately do this to cashmere. OTOH, it’s the usual Hush quality for cashmere (ie lovely). Second request coming up with next lot of pictures.

ilovecherries · 26/11/2018 10:00

2nd request! Me&Em palazzo pants. I have lusted these for about a year. But the long ones are about 4 inches too long. These are the cropped ones - do they just look like clown trousers? Size 10.

SoyYo · 26/11/2018 10:20

Morning cherries you look so pretty with your short hair today, again truly amazed you’re sixty years old! 😍
The colour is fine on you, I think with dark hair you can wear that colour next to your face no problem at all. But I see what you mean about the nibbled cuffs, it’s a bit contrived just a fashion thing I guess meant to say “I just threw on this old cashmere thing on”....it's up to you whether you can live with that but it does suit your shape and colouring with the dark hair.
On the trousers I’ll be honest I think they make your bottom half look larger than it is. The length with a more fitted/or slight flare would be fine but to me they’re not wide enough to be culottes style yet not narrow enough either. Sorry but I’m not feeling the love for them, they’re not horrendous just a bit meh, but I don’t see how the fabric flows either so it could just be the photo angle?

Laska2Meryls · 26/11/2018 10:21

I think it looks a good colour on you cherries . But cannot understand why they would snip the edges
. but wow hasn't your face shape changed! Over your weight loss you look fantastic.

Laska2Meryls · 26/11/2018 10:23

On hovercraft so bumpy texting!

Laska2Meryls · 26/11/2018 10:24

I have ordered the Boden Lucille dress this weekend. In black and in black grey print hope one will be ok .
